Shou'an Hou Mansion.

Lin Xiuwan sat in front of the windowsill, looking at the plum blossoms in the courtyard outside, a while ago, it was full of flowers, and it began to wither a few days ago, and when I got up today, I saw that the flowers had all gone.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and today is a rare sunny day, but she is not in the slightest interest.

Behind her, Xiaoqing was helping her comb her hair, and suddenly, there was a movement in her hands.

Lin Xiuwan looked at her in the bronze mirror and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Miss, your hair is growing again."

Xiaoqing said, quietly plucking out the white hair she had just found and stuffing it into her pocket.

Lin Xiuwan didn't notice her small movements, and asked, "Is the water ready?" ”

"It'll be right away."

In the back room, there was a large wooden bucket, and the maids were filling it with water.

Lin Xiuwan is used to taking a bath every day, which makes the maids serving in the yard miserable, and they have to carry the bath water every day, and when she finishes washing, she has to ask to throw it out.

After a while, the water was ready.

Xiaoqing went inside, tested the temperature, and said, "Miss, it's already fine." ”

Lin Xiuwan got up and walked to the inner room, and was undressing when she heard a quarrel outside, and put her coat back on.

Xiaoqing hurriedly said, "Miss, I'll go out and have a look." ”

Walking outside, she scolded, "What's the matter with you, don't you know that Miss wants to bathe?" ”

A man's voice shouted, "Little green girl, it's me, I want to see Miss Lin." ”

Although Xiaoqing felt that this voice was a little familiar, she was even more angry when she heard a man enter the courtyard, "Where did you come from, daredevil-"

Then he saw the young lady come out of it, and even the cloak she put on her body had fallen off, and she was about to go out.

Xiaoqing was a little stunned, and was about to stop her, but she had already stopped, turned around, and twisted her hands together, with a nervous look.

Xiaoqing asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Xiuwan didn't speak, returned to the dresser and sat down, took a deep breath, her expression had returned to normal, and said, "Bring my clothes." ”

Xiaoqing was a little puzzled, so she went back to the house and brought her coat over and helped her put it on.

Lin Xiuwan looked at herself in the mirror, picked up the comb, and slowly combed her hair before saying, "Let him come in." ”

Xiaoqing walked to the door and said, "Let him in." ”

Soon, a teenager ran in, and when he entered the door, he tripped over the threshold and fell on the spot.

"It's you!"

Xiaoqing was stunned and recognized this young man as Chen Fan's scholar Liu An.

I hadn't seen him for a year, and she just felt a little familiar, but she didn't recognize his voice.

No wonder Miss was so excited and nervous just now, so it was.

Chen Gongzi is finally back!

Liu An followed Chen Gongzi, left the capital, and went. Since he has returned, it means that Chen Gongzi has also returned.

Looking at his hurried appearance, it can be seen how much Chen Gongzi wants to see Miss.

Why did you go earlier?

Xiaoqing was a little resentful in her heart, in the past year, as soon as Chen Gongzi left, how much sacrifice Miss made for him, and how bitter her heart was, no one knew better than her.

Xiaoqing's face turned cold all of a sudden, "What are you doing here?" ”

Liu An got up from the ground, walked in front of Lin Xiuwan, knelt down with a plop, and said in a dumb voice, "Miss Lin, please go and see the young master, he, he's dying." ”

Syllable.

The comb in Lin Xiuwan's hand fell to the ground, her lips trembled, "You, what did you say?" ”

…………

When Chen Fan woke up again, he saw Zhao Gang and asked, "Where is Liu An?" ”

"He's boiling medicine." Zhao Gang turned around and took a bowl of porridge, "Young master, let's drink some porridge first." ”

Chen Fan said, "It's all said, I don't drink medicine." Tell him not to waste his work. ”

For the porridge that Zhao Gang fed, he didn't refuse, and in the past few days, he has eaten some liquid food.

"We've changed places?" He found that this was not the original house.

Zhao Gang said, "Madame arranged it." ”

Chen Fan didn't think much about it, and just had something serious to say, "Brother Zhao, I told that mother-in-law, if I really ...... words, don't let others know. Just when I've been out and about. When the time comes, I will wronged you, take my sister-in-law and them, and settle in the southern cities, and don't go back to the capital......"

Bang!

The outside door was pushed open forcefully, and a person walked in, standing in front of the bed, looking at the pale face and red eyes, Chen Fan's face changed, "What are you doing here?" ”

It was Lin Xiuwan who came in, she didn't say anything, took the bowl of porridge from Zhao Gang's hand, sat on the edge of the bed, scooped up a small spoonful, blew it cold, and put it to his mouth.

"I'll let you go—"

Chen Fan opened his mouth, and Lin Xiuwan stuffed the porridge into it.

Zhao Gang had already left the room, closed the door, and left the two of them in the room.

Chen Fan swallowed the porridge, and wanted to say something, "You ......" and stuffed another spoonful of porridge.

He didn't have a chance to speak at all.

The third spoonful of porridge was brought to his mouth, and he couldn't resist her eyes after all, and opened his mouth cooperatively.

After a while, a bowl of porridge was finished.

The atmosphere in the room became silent, and neither of them spoke.

Chen Fan's heart was a little confused, he knew that it must be Liu An who went to find her. It's not the first time Liu An has made his own claims.

I haven't seen him for a year, and he's in this situation again, he really doesn't know how to face the woman in front of him.

At this time, Lin Xiuwan finally said the first sentence after entering the house, "Bring the medicine." ”

The door opened, and Zhao Gang came in with the medicine.

After Lin Xiuwan took it, she blew it cold first, and then sent it to Chen Fan's mouth.

Chen Fan smelled the smell of medicine and was already a little sick to his stomach. However, under her gaze, the words of refusal could not be said at all, and her eyes closed and her mouth opened.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, Chen Fan only felt that his stomach was a little upside down.

At this time, Lin Xiuwan took out a bag of things from her arms, opened it, picked up one, and stuffed it into his mouth, which was sweet and silky, it was a piece of rock candy.

She put her hand on Chen Fan's face, rubbed it gently, and said, "Have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Her hands are very cold, she hasn't seen her for a year, and she looks thin. The hair was not combed, so a hair band was tied, which looked particularly weak.

Chen Fan felt a little uncomfortable and said, "You don't have to be like this. ”

"I'm leaving." Lin Xiuwan helped him fold the quilt, stood up, and left.

I could hear her telling Zhao Gang and them, "Take care of him, if you have any urgency, come to me immediately." ”

Chen Fan listened to the footsteps of her leaving, and his heart became empty.

…………

Lin Xiuwan walked out of the alley, got into the carriage, and said to the coachman, "Go to the palace." ”

Xiaoqing exclaimed, "Miss, it's so late, the imperial city has long been closed." ”

Lin Xiuwan urged, "Hurry up." ”
